Change of pace kind of thing.

Plymouth and Boodles were his gin of choice.

8. For the love of God, Why?

Gin is eveil!

Take perfectly good booze, then pollute it with juniper berry juice?

:puke:

[Fuzz]

11. Hmmm, I'm not sure I like your attitude soldier!

;)

[Xipe Totec]

20. Sir! Yes Sir! Permission to speak freely, sir?

I think the cigars are messing with your taste buds, sir!

Next thing, you'll be drinking Retsina, the wine equivalent of Gin.

:hide:

[Fuzz]

24. Actually, I am smoking a cigar

A Rocky Patel Connecticut Cigar as a matter of fact. My wife just calls it 'stinky'.

:)

[Xipe Totec]

25. There you go! Just switch to Vodka

Nobody will notice the difference.

Plus, it's cheaper, so you'll have more bucks to spend on fine cigars...



;-)

[Fuzz]

28. I have vodka, thinking of a Vodkatini or Martivi or whatever you call

it next.

There's a bottle of Zyr calling my name. Can you hear it?

And at the moment I have WAY too many cigars in my possesion. Went on a buying binge and people have been sending me some really great ones too. I have been enjoying a number of them.

[Xipe Totec]

29. To your health!

Здоровье!

If you made one with Tequila, I'd say:

Salud! Dinero! Y Amor!

Health! Wealth!, And Love! (in that order) ;-)

Enjoy the cigars; I wish I could join you!

[Fuzz]

30. Thanks! Back at ya!

About to torch up a La Gloria Cubana Series R that was gifted to me. Never tried one. :D

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. Is it dirty?

[Fuzz]

12. No, as clean and clear as. .as. . something clean and clear

I've lost my metaphor making ability already! :)

I, however, am filthy!

[xmas74]

14. dirty is the best way to drink one!

[Fuzz]

16. Kind of why I don't shower

ba-dum-dum. :)

[xmas74]

[Fuzz]

23. Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one.

[xmas74]

26. it's ok.

you have been drinking, after all.

[Fuzz]

27. Thanks for your compassionate patience

but what else would there be on this board! :D Great people all!

[xmas74]

31. I've been so drunk

that I've fallen down and gripped the earth, afraid that I would somehow fall off of it.

Once you've been that drunk nothing surprises you. You have infinite patience for everyone and everything.

[Fuzz]

33. LoL, I'm looking at a hole in the wall behind my desk right now

made by my shoulder after one night of one too many. Fell out of my chair, cigarette in hand. Woke up on the floor, smoke still burning, alas, a tad shorter, a huge smile on my face, glancee up to my wall, noticed the aforementioned hole in the sheet rock, looked at my computer screen and the macro I was running to assist me in playing an online game was still running, then looked over to my wife in bed still sleeping soundly.

How she didn't wake up after I nearly ended up in the yard outside, I still can't figure out!

Anyone good at fixing walls? :D

[Katina]

13. dry, extra dry

or is the vermouth just a passing thought?

[Fuzz]

15. Yes, I opened the cabinet for 2 seconds to glance at the bottle

then scolded it for being there.

[Katina]

17. brilliant

and well done! :D

[GOPisEvil]

18. I show my martini glass a picture of Antonio Benedetto Carpano...

...the inventor of vermouth. ;)

[Fuzz]

21. LoL

[Katina]

22. perfect!

[tyedyeto]

32. Up or on the rocks?

[Fuzz]

34. Oh, up of course

:)

Two done, and now I'm done too.

Martinis are like breasts. One is not enough and three is just too many!

Bad joke? I can't tell at the moment. :D

[tyedyeto]

35. Two of those pure alcohol, wonderfully delicious martinis...

are enough for me.

Fine to sip but not to guzzle.

[Beausoir]

36. Do you recognize the vodka Martooni? 'Cuz that's what Iike.

Absolute....up with olives.

And it must be icy cold.

[JackBeck]

37. I love these drinking threads.

It makes my former bartender heart go pitter-pat.

Martinis were my favorite to make. If you were busy, you had to get to know the person real quick because you had to make it their way. It's not like making a Long Island Iced Tea or a Gin and Tonic. Martini drinkers are specific and I always wanted to make theirs exactly the way they wanted them.

[Tyo]

39. True Story

Company Holiday Party. One of the bars was dedicated to "martinis" so once partner and I had ditched the coats that was the first stop. There was an amazing variety of liquors and flavored vodkas but no gin in sight. I asked what kind of gin they had. The bartender replied that we were at the martini bar. We'd have to go to the main bar if we wanted gin. Civilization is fucking crumbling around us.

[JackBeck]

41. I hear ya', buddy.

But nowadays, martinis are more about the glass and not the contents.

[GoneOffShore]

40. Have you tried a pork martini?

Here is a very long thread about The Weeniecello http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=91731&hl=

And a link to the pork martini.
